Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea (2012, unknown): “…⁄ root ratios, lower survival, higher plasticity in many functional traits and higher specific leaf area than do non-invasive and ⁄ or native species (Daehler 2003; Hawkes 2007; Ramula et al. 2008; van Kleunen, Weber & Fischer 2010; Ordonez, Wright & Olff 2010; Davidson, Jennions & Nicotra 2011).”
Invasive plant species are locally adapted just as frequently and at least as strongly as native plant species (2016, background): “Invasive plant species have been shown to have higher population growth rates than native plant species (Ramula et al. 2008).”
The compadre Plant Matrix Database: an open online repository for plant demography (2015, background): “demography of native and invasive populations (Ramula et al. 2008), effects of environmental stochasticity on plant population dynamics (Buckley et al.”
Prospects for biological control of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in Europe: learning from the past (2011, background): “This is because pollen production is the prime factor causing the high impact on human health and a reduction in seed output is likely to translate into reduced population densities and dispersal of annuals (Ramula et al., 2008).”
What are the key drivers of spread in invasive plants: dispersal, demography or landscape: and how can we use this knowledge to aid management? (2011, background): “This supports previous work on spread (Jongejans et al. 2008), and is in agreement with guidelines for slowing local population growth (Ramula et al. 2008).”
Invasive Species: to eat or not to eat, that is the question (2012, methodology): “Species-specific demographic matrix models and elasticity analyses are ideal for targeting the correct life stages and densities to cause population declines (Ramula et al. 2008).”
